[EVO 4G General] Wifflepig:
I just put up the Synergy RLS1 onto my Evo 4G, and prior to flashing it I wiped cache, data, dalvik cache, and blew away the .android-secure folder for good measure.

The camera *works*, but none of the special features do. Only Panorama. The HDR, the vignette, distort, etc - none of them do anything - it says its processing but immediately goes back to camera and when I look at the preview or the gallery, the photo has no post-processing done on it at all.

In RC1, the sepia and all those used to work. The new camera that came with RLS1 doesn't do any of the fancy stuff for me (except Panorama).
[EVO 4G General] m20120:
It sounds like it is working just fine for you. Many of the special effects in this camera app do not work on the Evo 4G. I think this is documented somewhere in the Synergy thread.

Edit: found the info towards the bottom of this post by myn.
[EVO 4G General] Synergies14:
I tried and ran both Synergy rls1 normal and +godmode, alot of the effects on the camera worked, but if i tried to take more than 1-2 pictures after each other using an effect, it would freeze my phone for about 15 seconds and then my phone would restart. Not using the effects didnt bother me at all. But i had to switch off the synergy rom and i moved onto MikG because i was one of the unfortunate ones to have a picky evo and the battery literally drained in front of my eyes on Synergy. That or i was using The Force and didnt realise it :p

yes, wipe everything 3 times. Make sure you wipe from front to back. lol
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodrench:
I am trying to install some pre-compiled binary files along with my app but I am having a hard time finding documentation or code samples that I can use.

I have successfully pushed the files to the device using adb and I have been executing the files from the filesystem, but I would like to package them right in my app(apk file).

I am not sure if it is better to store them from assets folder or res/raw.

I also have two seperate directories with scripts in them that will need to be used by calling options from the executable binary.

I would like to have the binaries installed to the /data/data/com.<company_name>/<app_name>/bin directory, and the script folders installed to the /data/data/com/<company_name>/app_name/bin/scripts1 and scripts2 directories.

Are there any good tutorials or docs that can get me going?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] picard666:
i'm looking for something similar, too

[EVO 4G General] groovdafied:
So I installed a google voice application so I can make calls, not receive them, through GV.

After the app's setup, and people call me on my regular cell phone number, the call comes through google voice instead. When I place a call or txt someone, it uses my google voice number.

I uninstalled the app and its still the same issue. How do I stop google voice from taking over my phone? I only want to use google voice when I want to, not automatically.
[EVO 4G General] MaxCarnage:
Login to your Google Voice account and click the gear in the upper-right hand corner then Voice Settings. In your Google Voice numbers, find your mobile number and see if it says "Google Voice Enabled" next to it. If so, then when you were setting up the Google Voice app you enabled Google Voice integration.
[EVO 4G General] cr8n:
^ as above. Go to voice.google.com and log in. Top right - go to Voice Settings. Beside your # deactivate your number and then re-add it with Google Voice LITE. Lite is the key. I can't remember the exact steps though.

Aug. 4 Update:

(*) DONE!!!!!!

Following the thread @ Nook Color Wifi Ad-Hoc Fix

Except I used Root Explorer instead of ADB (too lazy) to replace "wpa_supplicant" in /system/bin folder.

Confirm Ad-Hoc tethering working with my iPhone 3GS with MyWi (Ad-Hoc hotspots will show with "(*)" prefix)

Hi all,

Wonder if there is a wifi fix for nook touck connecting to ad-hoc wifi hot spots (cellphone) like that for nook color? This would fulfill my complete wish list...:D

Many thanks!
[Nook Touch General] apeine:
That would be neat. I can tether from my iphone, but I can't get Nook to see it...
[Nook Touch General] jo2kxda:
Same here - that is because Nook only sees wifi hot spots in "infrastrucute" mode, which excludes "ad-hoc" type of peer-2-peer hot spots (iphone).

In Nook Color, this has been patched to support ad-hoc wifi.

Also, MyWi 4.61.1 for (jailbroken) iphone is said to support wifi in "infrastructure" mode, which I suspect works on iphone 4 only since my 3GS doesn't seem to have that setting...
[Nook Touch General] apeine:
Same on my 3G with 3.1.3 (whited00r jailbreak) - no infrastructure. I guess there might be a patch for nook STR, or maybe the same hack may work... worth a try, as the method posted in the NC forum creates a backup of the file involved in the hack.
[Nook Touch General] jo2kxda:
Aug 4 Bump - adhoc achieved - ENJOY!
[Nook Touch General] apeine:
Congrats jo2kxda.

Will try it this weekend. If I don't break the nook with the update!
[Nook Touch General] kaiba4786:
I tried with my laptop, I've seen "(*)" on my nook screen, but can not connect.

[Nook Touch General] cephasara:
B&N Removal of Ad-Hoc Support

Why would B&N ever remove this functionality from Android to begin with?
[Nook Touch General] jo2kxda:
This could be due to a number of reasons, 1st thing I'd check is whether the ad-hoc network on laptop is setting up properly - is there a 2nd laptop or a desktop w/ wifi card that you can try connecting to this laptop? In theory once you cans see the network, you can connect to it.

EDIT: forgot to mention that I also did this:

Using Root Explorer to modify /system/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini

In tiwlan.ini, look for "WiFiAdhoc = 0".

Change it to the following

WiFiAdhoc = 1

Let me know if this helps.
[Nook Touch General] kaiba4786:
i try that but , it show "Obtaining address..." and never done :(

please help me
[Nook Touch General] apeine:
Confirmed, it works fine. As I couldn't get adb to run on my computer, I went "root explorer way". And it works on a Iphone 3G with mifi!

Thanks for sharing the info jo2kxda!
[Nook Touch General] jo2kxda:
Please provide more info:

-Is this an ad-hoc connection from the wifi of your laptop?

-Did you have a chance to check whether other devices such as iphone, or another laptop can successfully connect to this ad-hoc connection?
[Nook Touch General] jo2kxda:
Cool! Glad to know that it works on iphone 3G as well. :D
[Nook Touch General] kaiba4786:
-this is an ad-hoc connection from the wifi of my laptop

-i haven't iphone and have only 1 laptop

[Nook Touch General] Ajaja2008:
Had the same problem. Solved by tftpd32 (tiny DHCP server for WinXP).

P.S. But after share activation for the internet connection it started to obtain IP address without tftpd32. WinXP run it's own DHCP-service (192.168.0.1).
[Nook Touch General] apeine:
Before adding the ad-hoc hack to the nook STR 1.0.1, whenever I turned the nook off (screensaver mode) and on again (even after a while), wifi would be working. After I added the ad-hoc hack, when I came back from screensaver I'd have to restart the wifi connection.

Has anyone else noticed that???

I'm interested in doing it for 1.1.0. Has anyone done it? Any problem (like the one I mentioned above)?

[Thunderbolt General] Gabbyii:
Does anyone know if any of the radios work with both Froyo and Gingerbread?

I'm using a multiboot manager which lets you boot between different ROMs (called BootManager by Init 2 Winit in the android market-sorry can't post links yet) and it would be nice to be able to use both without having to reflash the radio.

Thanks in Advance.
[Thunderbolt General] KidJoe:
My limited understanding is...

Froyo ROM that uses "newer" RIL and GB rom can use the same radio.

Froyo ROM with "older" RIL (like release Froyo ROM) has to use older radio.

But I forget which froyo version started with the newer RIL... :o
[Thunderbolt General] JBO1018:
The official MR2 radio will work with the MR2 Froyo build-1.70.605.0 (as well as the mr2 leaks) and gingerbread builds. Any froyo version before the MR2 leaks must use the radios from the ship build-1.12.605.6 or the MR1-1.13.605.7

[Thrive General] russrob:
I've had the update for a few days now and have not experienced a single failure to wake. As far as I'm concerned the problem is fixed. Toshiba has done a tremendous job of resolving problems quickly, posting updates and keeping its user infromed. Well done Toshiba!
[Thrive General] SoleOfJohn:
Impossible as it was only released today. Maybe you are looking at the prior 2 updates available... :D!
[Thrive General] teh roxxorz:
Nope, tis for sleep of death.
[Thrive General] sharonelli:
Well, my ever-present SOD has disappeared since the update - so far. I don't know that I would go so far as to call it fixed if I were Toshiba, though. On both forums.toshiba.com and thriveforums.org, a number of people are reporting that the SOD persists in spite of the update. In addition to that, people who had no random reboots are now experiencing them. So maybe this is a partial fix, but it doesn't seem like it was just one issue causing all the problems.
[Thrive General] SoleOfJohn:
If he has had the update for several days it's not the SOD fix update... So as I said before, impossible as it was only released today... Errr, now yesterday at this point... Less than 24 hours ago anyway...
[Thrive General] teh roxxorz:
Oh yea, I misread. If it was several days, then yes, it was the previous OTA, not for sleepies of dooooooom.
[Thrive General] bsweetness:
Actually...

...he's right that he's had it for a few days, and you're right that it was only released yesterday.

Toshiba did a test run of the update with a handful of users who first reported the issue over on their support forums. They wanted to run it through the paces with regular users before sending it out to the masses. That's the update he's referring to, not any older ones.

Toshiba asked that the testing be kept quiet. So, it's not surprising that most people would be confused about it. :)
[Thrive General] Squishie:
Is there some form of manual install for said update? Here in Canada there's no updates listed in Service Center so I'm stuck with a semi-bricked device that needs to be rebooted any time I need to use it.

Seriously though, how does a company release a tablet with a bug like THIS!?
[Thrive General] dalepl:
The update has not been released in Canada. You can go to thriveforums.org and get whet wou need to root your device and then flash the 0032 update to your device.
[Thrive General] Squishie:
I shall look into that, thanks.
[Thrive General] dalepl:

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liskur:
Not sure if anyone else has experienced this since my search of the forums indicates that most are happy with Mobo on GtabComb.

I just updated two gtablets on 1.1 bootloader to the GtabComb 3.3 ROM. I have to say I am really impressed so far. It's nice to have an interface geared for tablets instead of a reworked phone ROM.

Since the update, both tablets experience the same scratchy sounding audio in Mobo. I've tried multiple Mobo codecs and none work correctly. I've also tried several other video players and none of those that I've tried can even play the videos.

Speaking of which, here is a little info about the videos.

They were all ripped from DVDs using a couple of different programs.

Some were ripped to MP4 format while others to M4V format. All behave the same.

They all worked on the various other ROMs I have run including CM7.03, stock, and Mountain Laurel.

I do have another gtablet that I just loaded Flashback 7.0 on as it is a 1.2 bl and I wanted to evaluate that ROM, but I have not checked to see if I have the same problem there yet. Will be doing that tonight.

I want to think this is a hardware acceleration problem, but other posters don't seem to be having an issue, so I am looking for suggestions of what to look for next.

UPDATE 8/4/2011: Must have been something in the video encoding that Mobo did not like. Other videos downloaded for testing are working without problem.

[Vega Accessories] maltloaf:
Hi guys,

I'm a new Vega user and it came supplied with a neoprene sleeve which is fine as a stop gap but I'm now needing something a bit more substantial.

I'm after a case that the vega stays in permanently but it must have 2 key features.

1) Stiff front to protect the screen when the case is closed and the tablet is in my rucksack

2) double up as a stand in landscape mode

Cheaper the better as my budget is tight, so not expecting anything too remarkable.

I've trawled eBay but none I've seen mention both of the above, so I thought I'd ask here for people's opinions on what they have in daily use.

Links to stores in the uk or eBay uk appreciated, but not essential, as long as I know what I'm looking for.

Cheers,

Malty

[Vega Accessories] Philip:
I would NOT use that eBay seller, personally, for 2 reasons.

Firstly, they describe the case as "leather", when it obviously isn't. If they will lie about that, what else will they lie about?

Secondly, their negative and neutral feedback suggests that they are not especially nice people to deal with.
[Vega Accessories] O_G:
The best case to meet your 2 criteria would be the official folio case. It offers the protection you require, only problem is it is not the cheapest case. But in the end you get what you pay for. Totally happy with mine, keep the vega in it all the time.
[Vega Accessories] maltloaf:
I don't mind paying if it's right.

Can that one be used as a landscape stand? I've seen it mentioned but never seen a picture of it as such.

Cheers,

You Can. Posted pics Here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=908230
[Vega Accessories] maltloaf:
I saw that pic (I presume the one in your first post) but wasn't sure how it was held in place.

Is the case locked in that position somehow or is it just held by friction on the desktop ?

cheers,

malty
[Vega Accessories] O_G:
It is held by friction. My case is a little lose, but a friend of mine has one which is a nice snug fit. Mine was not bad enough to warrant the trip back to currys. You could always take your vega with you and try before you buy.
[Vega Accessories] Harplo:

[Vega Accessories] maltloaf:
sadly they don't have any stock at my local currys or pcworld. They also have no vega's in stock but they do have one on display

Oh and I didn't mean what keeps the tablet inside the case, I meant what keeps the case upright in landscape mode ?
[Vega Accessories] bpye:
Did anyone notice the official Folio case got pulled from pc world? Do you think the TF101 cases would work? The dimensions are very similar, the vega is about .6mm deeper, 4mm wider and 4mm taller.
[Vega Accessories] lareeth:
I bought this case for my Vega

ebay.co.uk/itm/250877574917?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

Its cheap and it works, the inner that holds the Vega can be rotated round so it can be either horizontal or vertical, it has 3 slits at the bottom so you can fold it into a stand and choose what angle you want it held.

It also comes with (another) microsd to sd card, a stylus, a cleaning cloth and a single screen protector.

I have been impressed with it so far and for £13 its a steal.
[Vega Accessories] bpye:
I think im gonna get a custom case made. I'll probly use felt, real leather costs loads!
[Vega Accessories] tomh235:
I have been looking at this and similar cases on ebay but want to know a few things first.

1. Is the case specifically for the vega or is it generic eg, are ports accessible and is the fit right, or is it a bit off?

2. Is the tablet secure, will it fall out?

3. How much bulk does the case add?

Thanks, my vega should be coming in a few days, does it come with a case or sleeve already, I don't want to pre order something unnecessary.

Cheers everyone!
[Vega Accessories] foxguard:
Nope, no case or sleeve Inc.
[Vega Accessories] missbizzylizzy:
I bought one from ebay. It's item number 320710547405 and the 'title' is "Foldable leather Case Fits 10.1" Advent Vega Tablet -UK." It came with a free screen protector but I haven't really used it since the case protects it so well.

I was really impressed with the case because it's quite sturdy and the foldable bit at the back (see photos on the item description) is really handy. Also, all the cables, etc. fit in very nicely. Overall, it was a real bargain, especially considering the ones at PC World were majorly overpriced.

Good luck and enjoy your Vega! :)

Ooops....forgot to say that it does add a bit of bulk to the tablet but to be honest, the tablet had a few close calls before I got the case that I was grateful for the extra 'bulk.' It's not a major amount of bulk though!
[Vega Accessories] loui1986:
I have the official advent vega folio case and it does not come with a hard front-screen which was part of the criteria mentioned...

I'm still looking for a portraid folio case with a protective screen cover, so that I can also pop the vega into my attachet folder, hope you find what you are looking for
[Vega Accessories] tattoo_gaz:
When did you buy your case bud? I got mine in around February when I got my vega and mine has definately got a hard front cover (It lives permanently in its folio case in my rucksack and when I take it out from time to time its still like brand new)

I will make a short video of it at lunch time when the office is quieter lol
[Vega Accessories] tomh235:
In the end I decided on the pound land 10" netbook sleeve :D

It does the job of preventing my shiny new tablet from getting scratched in my bag while adding zero bulk when I'm using it. Amazing! ;)

I can't seem to get the nandroid backup thing working. I'm new to this rooting stuff, but i got i done with unrevoked. I haven't done anything since rooting, but trying to get the damn thing to backup. Everytime i try, no matter if its through rom manager or directly through the recovery menu, it freezes when trying to backup the system apk's. Specifically at either the weather.apk or calculator.odex.

The first time i tried it, it corrupted my SD card! Good thing i didn't have anything important on there though.

Any ideas?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
All you need to do is flash a new recovery since yours is ill-functioning.

The best way of flashing recovery is through fastboot. In order for this to work your device needs to be S-OFF. You can do this by using the new Alpharev/Unrevoked tool.

Once you have S-OFF, you can use fastboot commander, to flash the recovery.

If you get into any trouble or need any further help just holla
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] numb92:
Okay, i have to S-OFF - seems simple enough with the new tool.

But after that, can you please guide me a little, I'm still completly new to this, and is somewhat worried about bricking when I haven't got a backup :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
All you have to do is downlaod fastboot commander, and the java jdk for the tool to work.

Then, download the Ra Desire recovery

Once you've got that, but into fastboot (power off, hold back key & power), and plug in via USB.

run fastboot commander, navigate to the "misc" tab, select "recovery" and nothing else and click "erase chosen partition", then go back to the "Hboot, radio & rec" tab, choose "recovery", and find the recovery.img you have downloaded.

Then, simply press flash recovery

Once that's done, power off and reboot into recovery (power off, volume down & power, then use volume down key to navigate to RECOVERY and press power to select)

Then do a nandroid backup.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] numb92:
Okay, I now got all that, and its making the backup, but how long should it take? It's been around 10 minutes now i think, and the screen is almost filled by rows of dots
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
wow, that's never happened to me... When I backup cyanogenmod 7.03 it takes under a minute!... this is a little strange.. If I were you I'd backup your texts (and apps if you want) and do a fresh install of a ROM (as in with fastboot commander, go to the "misc" tab, and wipe boot, system, userdata, sd-ext and cache then flash a new ROM through recovery), and try again. I've never had a problem like this before.

understand that if you're having problems with recovery now and if it didn't allow you to install, and if you wipe everything you might be stuck in fastboot, and then your only salvation would be a RUU
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] numb92:
Well i did everything you said with succes, so i don't think there were any problems there.
